a - Females heterozygous for the indicated UAS transgene and for P{Act5C-GAL4}17bFO1 were crossed to either D. melanogaster w1118/Y (control cross) or to D. simulans Lhr1 males. For the first two sets of crosses the females were of genotype w/w; UAS/+; GAL4/+; for the remaining crosses the females were of genotype w/w; UAS +/GAL4 +.
b - For the control crosses the ratios of red eye: orange eye: white eye progeny were tested for deviation from a 2:1:1 ratio using a chi-square test. n.s. = p > 0.05
c - The ratios of red eye: orange eye: white eye for hybrid crosses were compared to control crosses using a 3 × 2 contingency table and chi-square test. *** = p < 1 × 10-3; n.s. = p > 0.05, 2 degrees of freedom.
